The shadow side of the spiritual community no one wants to talk about….

Nobody holds a grudge or spiritually bypasses quite like the so-called conscious community.

And yes, I’ve got receipts to substantiate.

The lack of transmutation, personal responsibility, and cognitive maturity in these spaces is honestly terrifying.

There’s a whole lot of “studying” with very little actual growth or application.

A lot of talk. A lot of bullying. A lot of weak-ass bandwagon behavior.

And I have a theory.

Many of the people who’ve devoted their lives to astrology, metaphysics, and spirituality didn’t arrive here from a place of wholeness……they arrived from a place of wounding.

Outcasted. Misunderstood. Socially exiled. Rejected.

But instead of healing it, they made it their brand.

They didn’t alchemize it, they intellectualized it.

And that trauma bleeds into their work and offerings, which are almost always rooted in desperation and financial lack.

Most don’t even have the awareness to “see” because they’re still trapped in their own fog.

And that’s the scariest part.

The deeper you go, the more you want to run the other way.

Because what’s being marketed as a space for healing is, more often than not, a space to hide in complacency.

That’s not just dishonest, it’s dangerous.

Especially for people who enter this world looking for evolution, ascension, and genuine connection.

What they often find instead is exploitation, spiritual codependency, and emotional manipulation.

Imagine being a child of God and getting coerced into paying thousands for a “spiritual initiation”which is really just spiritual validation…..just to throw around rank.

DISGUSTING.

These folks should be ashamed of the way they’ve commodified and mocked sacred traditions.

Let’s talk about this nu wave of buzzwords…

Lately, “nervous system regulation” has become the go-to phrase.

And don’t get me wrong, boo…..I’m all for anything that restores balance to the body.

But the way it’s being used?

It’s giving soft-core avoidance with an aesthetic twist.

A disarming, people who can’t be called in, held accountable, or sit in discomfort without dissolving into a spiritual meltdown.

Let’s be honest:

It’s emotional fragility, commodified.

And these labels…

“I’m depressed.”

“I’m anxious.”

“I’m neurodivergent.”

Okay. And? Now what?

People really push unhealthy narratives because they’re too afraid to stand on principle for fear of being rejected or vilified.

At what point does self-awareness turn into self-sabotage?

With all that “inner child” work, ancestral healing, and divine downloads… how are you still using the same labels to justify the same patterns?

Make it make sense.

And while we’re here—let’s address the current narrative around men.

Especially Black men.

Since the Diddy case hit the spotlight, there’s been a disturbing shift in tone.

Suddenly, all masculinity is framed as threatening.

Male presence = unsafe.

Masculine energy = predatory.

That’s not healing.

That’s not truth.

That’s projection and community destruction.

And the kicker?

A lot of the people pushing this narrative are still deeply wounded by their experiences with men—many of whom were abusive, transactional, or emotionally absent.

Let’s call a thing a thing.

Some of these folks parade sexual overexposure as liberation, but it’s really unhealed trauma dressed up in erotic aesthetics.

It’s not confidence.

It’s a cry for help. WAKE TF UP.

And that’s the real issue:

No one wants to get honest about the fact that this community has become a safe space for unprocessed pain in costume.

Not healing.

Not transformation.

Just performance.

And I say this as someone who’s had too many bizarre, unprovoked encounters with these so-called spiritual folk

Usually the same people I once championed, supported, and referred.

Should I name names? You know I’m with that.

Sometimes I really want to blow the lid off all this fake shit.

I’ve been so tempted to go out with a bang. Real Scorpio Moon energy.

And one more thing…..why do so many of y’all talk about prosperity, but stay broke and peddling?

Hustling retreat after retreat… event after event… discount after discount…

Like, does that not sound your inner alarm?

The truth is:

Most people didn’t come here to heal.

They came here to hide.

To cosplay “healer” while refusing to do the actual work.

To build platforms with no integrity.

To talk about abundance with no capacity to hold it.

And I want NO parts.

Do NOT group me in with these weirdos.

So no, babe…

I don’t have many referrals left.

Because integrity is rare.

And real healing is even rarer.

Let me leave you with this:

Spiritual doesn’t mean safe.

Studied doesn’t mean healed.

Visibility doesn’t mean virtue.

You HAVE to do your own work.

And I know some people think I’m harsh—but I believe true empowerment and transcendence comes from self-actualization.

No one can do this shit for you.
